Summary
- Mandel has not been offered a contract for the next season of AGT.
- He might relocate for filming, preferring to stay in Los Angeles.

As of September 30, 2026, Howie Mandel has not yet received a contract offer for the next season of "America's Got Talent." The comedian shared that while the show's production location might shift, potentially to Atlanta, he has not been formally asked to return.
Mandel expressed a desire to remain in Los Angeles, his home base, and even proposed an innovative solution. Through his company, Proto Hologram, he suggested a holographic representation could facilitate his participation, thereby minimizing travel if the show relocates.
Beyond his television commitments, Mandel is also engaged in the burgeoning esports industry. He is actively involved with his Global Gaming League team, "How We Do It Gaming," and believes it has the potential to rival established sports leagues like the UFC and WWE. He is currently seeking new players to join his team, indicating a significant future venture.
